The [Politico/Morning consult survey](http://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000015c-8041-d9ca-adfc-85c1c6990000) found that 69% of voters think Trump should tweet less, and even a majority of Republican voters, 53%, agree. Overall, 59% of voters say his use of Twitter is a bad thing, according to the poll, and 57% believe his tweets hurt his own presidency. About half, 51%, believe his tweets hurt national security, and 53% believe they hurt American standing in the world.
